Family Vacation Thumbnail (Part Two)

The following pictures are associated with Splash Lagoon, an indoor water park in Erie. Three different hotels have enclosed walkways leading to the park, and they offer special admittance prices for their guests.


This is Ben crossing the lily pads.

These are two scenes just to give you an idea of what this park is like.

This is when I came back from our campsite to pick up Janelle, Ben (14) and Will (11). I know I look like I'm sunburned, but really I was just overheated from setting up our tent in the unseasonable heat and humidity, and then the few minutes I spent at Splash Lagoon just exacerbated my condition because it was SO HOT in there! I'm not sure why I look so much taller than my sons; Ben is just about as tall as I am, with Will coming up quick.

This is a really cool stained glass window in the pool area of Residence Inn (not the hotel in which we stayed, but we entered Splash Lagoon through their lobby). The window shows Admiral Perry's flagship Niagara, Perry Monument, the Presque Isle light house, a rendering of Presque Isle peninsula itself (middle), and some of the beautiful lily pads for which the lagoons are known.
